The Green Bay Packers have signed veteran offensive guard Kevin Zeitler to address severe struggles on their offensive line. Zeitler, 36, spent the 2025 season with the Tennessee Titans, starting 16 games. He is the latest addition to a roster that recently brought in veterans Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton following a 1-2 start to the 2026 season. The move aims to stabilize protection for quarterback Jordan Love and improve run blocking before the team travels to Tampa Bay for Sunday's game.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran defensive back Kenny Moore II to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. The 31-year-old, who spent his entire career with the Indianapolis Colts, is expected to play safety and nickel cornerback. This move addresses depth concerns in the Eagles' secondary following injuries and the departure of Reed Blankenship, providing defensive coordinator Vic Fangio with more flexibility in base packages.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. remain in a contract standoff after the team rejected a new deal. According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac, the Steelers offered Porter a contract paying just over $27 million in 2026, a significant raise from his current $3.924 million salary. Porter rejected the offer, which would have ranked seventh among cornerback contracts in the league. Negotiations have ceased, and the team is not currently discussing a new deal with the player. The impasse centers on guaranteed money and contract structure, as the Steelers have historically avoided fully guaranteeing non-quarterback contracts beyond the first year. Porter’s agent remains active, and the team may consider a franchise tag valued at approximately $23.1 million if no agreement or trade is reached by the November deadline.
The Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton, making him a free agent. Three teams have reportedly reached out to Slayton’s reps, with the Colts mentioned as a potential landing spot due to his connection with quarterback Daniel Jones. Slayton had 37 receptions for 538 yards and 1 TD last season.
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly hosting veteran edge defender Kyle Van Noy for a free-agent visit, a move tied to his prior work with coach Brian Flores. The 35-year-old would provide depth behind starters Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel if brought aboard, and is not expected to be expensive given the club's cap space. Van Noy had a standout 2024 with 12.5 sacks but dropped to two last season, and he has 57 career sacks across 12 NFL seasons.
Dallas waived backup QB Joe Milton, making Sam Howell Prescott's backup. Milton, who has 424 passing yards, two TDs and two INTs in five games, is expected to draw interest from QB-needy teams such as the Dolphins, Titans and Jets as he seeks his next destination.
Atlanta adds veteran edge rusher Za’Darius Smith on a one-year contract to bolster a thin pass rush after injuries to Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. The 34-year-old three-time Pro Bowler, who has 70.5 career sacks and has played for several teams, had briefly retired before signing with Atlanta. He should immediate contribute to a rotation with Ojulari, Ebukam, Thomas and Trice and could see another addition before Week 1 as he ramps up.
The Seattle Seahawks are signing former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, who was waived by Detroit after an arrest on eight felony charges. In two seasons with the Lions, Arnold appeared in 24 games (22 starts) and posted 91 tackles, 18 passes defended and one interception. With Arnold's departure, Detroit is expected to start D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin at corner, with Nick Whiteside and Ennis Rakestraw backing them up.
Miami explored Stefon Diggs as a potential long-term answer at receiver, but talks didn’t lead to a deal and Diggs signed a one-year pact with Washington. With a thin WR corps and a developing QB in Malik Willis, the Dolphins are likely prioritizing cheaper veteran options and internal development over a high-priced add, while evaluating what they really have in Willis as camp progresses.
The Washington Commanders reportedly signed veteran wideout Stefon Diggs to a one-year, $12 million contract to bolster their receiving corps and provide veteran playmaking alongside Terry McLaurin, adding a proven target after a busy offseason of roster moves.
